The Qualcomm^®^ Adreno™ VPU 665 video core is supported with sixth-generation video engine.
The specifications of Adreno are as follows:
- 7680 × 4320 at 60 fps/8192 × 4320 at 48 fps decode, which is applicable for H.264/HEVC/VP9
- 7680 × 4320 at 30 fps encode, which is applicable to H.264/HEVC
- Up to 7776000 macroblocks per second, where macroblocks per second = (width × height × fps)/(macroblock size).
- For 7680 × 4320 at 60 fps, (7680 × 4320 × 60)/(16 × 16) = 7776000 macroblocks per second

- **[Video decode](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-88500-4/topic/132_Video_decode.html)**
Qualcomm Robotics RB5 has a dedicated hardware block called the VPU for carrying out the hardware decoding and encoding. For video decoding, the video decode (qtic2vdec) GStreamer plugin is used.
- **[Video encode](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-88500-4/topic/133_Video_encode.html)**
Adreno VPU 665 supports H.264, HEVC, and VP8 video encoding standards.
- **[UVC](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-88500-4/topic/134_UVC.html)**
The USB device class definition for video devices (UVC) defines the video streaming functionality on the USB.
- **[Video debug](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-88500-4/topic/135_Video_debug.html)**
The video debug messages are controlled by vendor.qc2.log.msg, which is a 32-bit property (0xPPQRSTUU).
